Hey there..
I am looking at purchasing a 2005 Proline CC, the boat checks out really nice, but I tried turing the steering wheel to the right, and it moved the the outboard to the right no problem, but then when I turned the wheel back to the left, it made a grinding sort of noise, and the outboard did not turn.
Any idea on what maybe wrong , or what to look for? the seller says it was A OK at the end of the season, and I just need to lube the cable??
I understand a steering kit is around $200 for parts?
I have a number agreed upon to purchase the boat, and I am thinking I want to get it either way, I am pretty handy, is it a big job to replace/repair the steering parts?
